25,000th Post!!

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I thought I’d celebrate the 25,000th post. If the length of a post were a mile long and formed a walking path, a person could walk on them around planet Earth (There’s a completely meaningless statistic). Next posts will be Monday AM.

Earl’s High School Vehicle: a GPW

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Earl forwarded a photo of him and a jeep. Note how he created his ‘white walled tires’.

He writes, “Here is a photo of me and my first jeep a 1942 Ford GPW in 1952, my daily driver in high school. I paid $100 for it and had to drive it home in low range because it didn’t have any brakes. I’m still buying them without brakes. I hand painted the whitewalls on the tires, I never had a flat so it still had the combat wheels.”

1964 Zamboni Ice Resurfacer Warren, ME **SOLD*

• CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1795.

Glenn found this rare item. I don’t know much about the V4s that power these rigs.Might be an interesting motor to check out.  I can’t tell if this is a variant of the Model F or a Model G. You can learn more about the Zamboni/jeep relationship here.

“1964 Zamboni ice-resurfacer, needs TLC, runs, goes, manuals included. These machines were made on a Jeep running gear. Dana front and rears, 3 speed manual with spicer transfer case, drive shafts etc. Will consider parting out if sale of whole machine doesn’t take place. Has V-4 air cooled motor that runs great and has propane setup. Would make a great lumber mill power plant.”
